Lyrics

Once upon a time there was an engineer
Drove a locomotive both far and near
Accompanied by a monkey that sat on a stool
Watching everything that the engineer moved
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
Left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat
The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun
And made ninety miles an hour on the mainline run
Well the big locomotive, just in time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Engineer began to call a dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about a locomotive was gone
Get on the wire and dispatch it right
'Cause the monkey got the mainline sewed up tight
The operator got the message in time
There's a northbound limit on the same mainline
Open the switch, gonna let him in the hole
'Cause the monkey got the locomotive under control
Well the big locomotive, right on time
The big locomotive coming down the line
The big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind
